with tiny, 53;

the cover is likewise held to its seat by means of the articulated bail, but the cams andA especially guarded.

1t should be noted that the spread of the bail is greater than the diameter of the cover or can body, so that when the container is closed, the bail will clear the cover and will be swung against the side of the can body. 1n this way the ybail will form an acute angle with the shanks 14, which materially increases its locking effect while furthermore it is entirely impossible to lift the cover, before the bail has been righted by a separate and distinct manipulation.

Furthermore the cam 21 with the construction shown lin Figs. 1-4 will constitute a lspur that extends trom the bail beyond its pivot 16 and which will in the closed position of the parts constitute a cross piece that projects across the ear and prevents the cover from being lifted until the bail has been completely righted, or swung into a true vertical position. With the construction shown in Fig. 5, the bail is extended a distance beyond the pivot, to constitute a spur having a similar effect.

I claim:

1. A container provided with a cover having a pair of diametrically extending ears, a pair of shanks secured to the container body and extending upwardly through said ears, a bail pivoted to the upper ends of the Shanks and having a spread which is greater than the diameter of the can, said bail being adapted toV be folded beneath the cover against the can body at an acute angle to the Shanks 2. A container provided with a cover having a pair'o'tl diametrically extending ears, a pair of Shanks secured to the container body and extending upwardly through said ears, a bail pivoted to the upper ends of the shanks and having a pair of depending spurs, said bail being adapted to be folded beneath the cover against the can body, while the spurs are adapted to extend across the ears.

3. A container provided with a cover, a pair of apertured ears on the cover, a bail, a pair of Shanks pivoted t0 the bail and adapted to pass through the ears, means for pivotally connecting said Shanks to the container, and a pair of cams on the bail adapted to engage said ears.

4. A container provided with a cover, a pair of apertured ears on the cover, a bail, a pair of Shanks pivoted to the bail and adapted to pass through the ears, means `for pivotally connecting said Shanks to the container, a pair of cams on the bail adapted to engage the ears, apertured lugs on the bail and container and a lock adapted to engage said lugs.
